When I download the video in my computer, can I transfer that video easily to a dvd so that I can send it to my parents (who are not computer savvy)?

The format recorded is avi which can easily burned into DVD using any DVD maker software. Refer to the software manufacturer for more help. I used windows 7 media player. It's free

Yes, you can transfer video easily by utilizing DVD making software like: Windows DVD Maker, Roxio Creator and many dvd burning software.

I tried this on a few computers with mixed results. Essentially the newer your computer, the more likely it is that the transfer will work.

I haven't tried this yet but it should be the same as transfering any video from your phone.

You can download everything onto the computer. You don't need to have the DVD in the drive after you've downloaded it.

I have done it, but it requires special software. Just Google "VHS to DVD software" and you should find some options that suit your needs.

I do not believe you can but you can use a program like Snap Shot Video Wizard. The removable SD card makes it easy to transfer video to your computer or just use the on board USB connector! Even if you get it done the quality will be low.

you should be able to do that if your lap top has a dvd rw burner, if it doesn't have that then you might need to look for another disk type, if your lap top can make disks, some of them just come with just a cd rom only. as for the free soft ware to download from youtube, I just go with the basic- http://www.ytddownloader.com/YTD Video Downloader , but get it from their web site ONLY, other places might put in a virus or malware or some other bad thing.

Thanks Dale --That sounds great! Almost too easy to be true? I guess the big hang up with those old camcorders was getting the video onto a PC, connections, storage space, firewire's, etc.... I just want to put them on a dvd so this sounds like it would work for me. It is just home video of the kids growing up so top image quality isn't really a concern. The only other question is, what do you think the 'playability' of the recorded disc would be on devices going forward, meaning our PC, parents PC, whatever dvd player we have, etc.....? Any special type of disc to ensure compatability with multiple devices?If I spend hours converting but then can't watch, I haven't really accomplished anything. Thanks Dale --That sounds great!

It downloads into a mp4 format and as far as I can tell, that can't be changed. Yes, you can transfer the files to the PC. Depending on your hookup, I found the easiest way for me was to transfer via flash drive. BUT, I had to try 3 different drives before the unit would recognize it and work properly. It absolutely loved saying "bad drive". The one that work was 220gb; the higher drives didn't work. It also didn't like external usb drives. It's really fussy. I would not buy it if I were you.

Good question. I've never tried that. Most disc are encoded with some security so your computer will not allow you to download or copy them. I'm sure there's some stuff to download to get around that but I have no idea. If you did get around the security I'm sure you can have the entire film on your computer then of course you can do what you want with it.

I believe you can do it either way, but it's preferable to order the dvd because the reason that you're buying this program is to rescue data off your hard drive, and you wouldn't want to download something that might overwrite the very data you're trying to save. Also, the DVD can act as a start-up disk (if I remember right - it's been a couple years since I used this software) which is helpful when rescuing data off your internal hard drive.

I have not tried DVD movies but the 50GB of data that I have transferred went well. Only limited by the data transfer speed of the computer apparently.

Take them to a video transfer store and have them convert to video files on DVD. Or if you have a desktop PC, buy a firewire PCI E card.

Go to epizenter.net like I said before, it's easy, but I'm not gonna post links to DVD ripping software here, since ripping commercial DVDs isn't legal.

If the computer has an RCA input (yellow/red/white), then you could. Another way to do it would be to get a D-VHS player ( JVC HMDH40000U D-VHS HDTV Digital Video Recorder ), connecting via HDMI to the computer, copying that way.

There's no included software to do it. The best way is the probably use SUPER, a collection of open-source and freely available tools to guide you through the process, then use Windows Media Player or the Creative software to send the ripped videos to your Zen.

well first off you need to know the format of the video,,,basically---.wav? .mp3? .whatever..haha. the pc should automatically open it in media player,,if not open media player,hit file,goto open,,,find your stick under computer/memory stick, and open from there,,,,,or simple way is plug in stick with everything closed,goto computer,,open mem stick,,hit control and [c] at same time to copy,,,then go into my documents,,open movies,,then there hit control and [v] at same time to paste movie to save it. as long as its a compatible format it'll open and play when clicked on....hope this helped

Actually I purchased the DVD for my brother who lives in other country and took the DVD player with him. We put USB drives and Data DVD's with videos in AVI format, and played them without difficult. Probably some videos were in another format but I don't remember, the fact is that all the videos in the media were played. I don't think it would be able to read video formats from camcorders or Digital cameras without conversion to playable formats.

Thats two questions, yes if you use this device (which I recommend for mac, I have problems using it on my pc) you can transfer video to a dvd from your computer. the licensing problem I would answer as to say you are not technically suppose to make copies or transfer movies at all that are copyrighted. That decision is up to you.
